If you wish to transfer a domain from one domain name registrar to another, you’ll need to go through several security steps. One of them is getting a special EPP authorization code from the current domain registrar – as long as you are the registrant, since the code is sent to the domain owner’s mailbox and no one else can obtain it. You’ll need to give this code to the new registrar, or else they won’t be able to begin the domain transfer. The EPP authentication codes are case-sensitive and may include numbers or special characters such as commas or dots, which can be easily misentered, so make sure you copy and paste the correct code. As an additional safety measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain name may be reset regularly. Certain domain registrars refer to this code as a domain password, a domain secret or an Auth key as well.

EPP Transfer Protection in Shared Hosting

In case you have a domain name registered through our company and you have a shared hosting account with us, obtaining its EPP code is exceptionally easy. You will not need to log in and out of different platforms, as you can administer all your domain names via the exact same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to manage your hosting account. You’ll see all existing domains once you sign in and to the right of the domains whose extensions require a code in order to be transferred, you’ll notice a mini EPP icon. All it takes to obtain this code is to click the icon. The code is always emailed to the domain registrant’s email address, so if the one that you shared initially isn’t valid any longer, you can modify it with a couple of clicks from the exact same section.
